Conflict and Private Security Industry
The conflict communication and reconstruction industry - The work of 'rebuilding' areas destroyed by war and other excesses of globalisation is big business, as is the PR element of these wars. See for example:

- Globalisation: Albany Associates - a related group expert in communicating the 'reconstruction' message Associates - Strategic Communication Project;

i Diplomacy
- Globalisation: Alliance for Youth Movements (www.movements.org) - a group founded and funded by the likes of google, facebook, youtube, pepsi, cbc, MTV and the US State Department to promote digital activism - famously the 'twitter revolution' in Iran.
